Single-use plastics are a global problem, but what if onion skins became the solution? Huid, a British startup, has developed a compostable material made from onion skins, proving that nature itself can inspire a sustainable future in packaging.
Naturally robust and protective, onion skins are a perfect example of “single-use packaging” designed by Mother Nature. Huid has harnessed these qualities to create an innovative material that not only reduces waste but also works in harmony with the environment.
In addition to reducing food and plastic waste, Huid’s material incorporates natural antimicrobial properties, ensuring superior protection and extended preservation of food.
Pyber: The Sustainable Alternative to Wood-Fibre Paper
Among Huid's flagship products is Pyber, a paper-like material created through the biological processing of onion skin fibres. Pyber offers a sustainable alternative to traditional paper for secondary packaging products, available in various natural shades and weights.
Huid is committed to promoting a circular system, collaborating with industry players to optimise the use of raw materials and waste management. The mission? To tackle three types of waste simultaneously: plastic, food, and onion waste.
With solutions like Pyber, Huid demonstrates that innovation and sustainability can go hand in hand. The future of packaging is here, and it’s biodegradable.
